1295374 2012-08-18 10:26:00 My dad went to uninstall quicktime. He was then going to uninstall it again. He uninstalled it using the normal windows uninstaller. It uninstalled, but not successfully. It no longer show up in revo, windows uninstaller, etc. I can't find any folders left. But, trying to install the latest version of quicktime comes up with 'quicktime can't install because there is already a version of quicktime again'.

Please advise.

1295378 2012-08-18 21:53:00 @Icow. Already tried that, CCleaner found a heap, I removed them all, but no luck.
@Gary67. Thanks, I hadn't though of that.
@wainuitech. Already tried that, I didn't find anything, but I'll get a second pair of eyes in just in case I missed something.

1295379 2012-08-19 00:34:00 Ok, I hadn't missed anything. Went through again, nothing to do with quicktime running. Quizzed my father on his usage, a system restore point was created three hours before quicktime was uninstalled. He hadn't done anything on the computer to do with work since then, so I cam rolling back his system to 3 hours before quicktime was uninstalled. Nick G (16709)

I wouldn't install shittime on any machine.

1295381 2012-08-19 01:02:00 System restore worked to a point. Rolled back to when quicktime was still there. I wanted to see if it would let me uninstall then reinstall, so I uninstalled - with revo, a full 'advanced' removal. Tried to reinstall quicktime, still got that error message again. I will be rolling back again then not uninstalling quicktime, but why does it keep doing this? Nick G (16709)

I know, not my computer though. And sadly, I have to have it with mine, as I do use iTunes for my music/apps for ipod purchases.
